bill: the memorial service getting underway for 26-year-old sean collier in boston, massachusetts. a sad day to remember. martha: we will see you back here tomorrow. jon: a scathing report on the september 111th terror attack in benghazi that killed four americans. accusations that talking points about the assault were changed and the blame goes all the way to the top. the middle of the country just can't catch a break after a cruel winter, now towns and cities are hit with massive flooding. the latest on the midwest misery all "happening now."

lots to get to today on this wednesday, good morning to you. i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i'm jenna lee. a team of u.s. federal investigators is reportedly in russia right now speaking with the parents of the boston terror suspect. this as new details emerge about the older brother's recent activities. where he may have bought the explosives and who may have dropped the ball on keeping track of him. the russians asked the fbi to investigate the older brother about two years ago. he died last week after a shootout with police. the fbi say they didn't find any terrorist activity at the time that they talked to him. a year later the suspect spent six months in russia, in a volatile region well-known that is plagued by islamist violence. now we are getting conflicting reports about what the feds knew about the terror suspect's trip, what that actually means. catherine herridge has been working this part of the story. >> the secretary of homeland

security janet napolitano testified this morning that neither of the boston suspects had negative information in their files during the investigation. the older brother tamerlan had been the subject of an fbi investigation. >> they are vetted from the time they apply to the time between when they are told they are going to be a citizen, and they actually take the oath as a ceremony. we are continually revetting, going back, checking, checking, checking, check being. in this instance in boston the systems contained no derogatory information as to either brother. >> after the closed door meeting from an assistant director of the fbi last night both republicans and democrats on the senate intelligence committee questioning whether there was a failure to adequately share information about the boston's suspect's trip to russia and the fbi investigation before the bombings. >> we had a full discussion back and forth over the process that followed, and we need to keep at that and we need to see if there

are any loopholes in it that we fix those loopholes. >> that is troubling to me, that this many years after the attacks on our country in 2001 that we still seem to have stove pipes that prevent information from being shared effectively. >> reporter: stove piping is a 9/11 term for the lack of information sharing that led to that attack in 2001. what we heard from senators last night that it was not only what they think it was stove piping for a lack of information sharing between different agencies but also within a single agency itself, jenna. jenna: the question is, catherine is the system working or isn't it based on what we know from this one incident, this one terror attack? >> reporter: well, it would seem based on the report -rg in the last couple of -- reporting in the last couple of days is there are grave inconsistencies between what the agencies new. woo heard from a cia director in his briefings saying he had no information about tamerlan

tsarnaev trip outside of the united states in 2012 january to july. speaking to former fbi investigators his return after six months they thought would have prompted another round of questioning of the suspect, but then we had the testimony from secretary napolitano that the system pinged. there was an alert that he had left the country but there was not one coming back. you see this -- jenna: i don't mean to interrupt. that's drastically different information. >> reporter: you cannot reconcile them. that is the issue. i think there are questions about what his immigration status was here in the united state. we are going to push home of land security on that today. we believe there was derogatory information in one of their files. jenna: that is the older brother. the younger brother was made a citizen. what else is heart part of this investigation that we should consider today, what else are you learning. >> reporter: you have to look at the overseas component. the fbi is on the ground in russia reconstructing the trip there from january to july of last year. they want to 4 know who he met with, what their contact with known an and expected extremist

groups and any contact with a bomb maker. the working theory of investigators was that the two brothers acted aeu bean. dianne feinstein and the ranking republican said it's too early to rule out overseas ties. >> they constructed the weapons inside the united states. did they have some sort of training or inspiration, or coaching inside or outside of the united states? that that is all still under investigation. we don't have the answer to it yet. >> reporter: ha former seal and former member of the joint terrorism task force in new york told fox news that based on the shear volume of explosive devices and their effectiveness or efficacy he believed that you would need hands on training to achieve that kind of success with those devices, and also that they would have to be ongoing training. he like end it to a surgeon. you learn your skills, but then you can't just pick up a year later and achieve the same output. jenna. jenna: interesting. catherine, thank you.

>> reporter: you're welcome. jon: new information on the benghazi terror attacks now that left four americans, including our a ambassador dead. congressional republicans issuing a scathing report accusing the white house and state department of altering talking points about the assault, specifically taking aim at former secretary of state hillary clinton reading in part the committee's review shows that the leadership failure in relation to security and policy in benghazi extended to the highest levels of the state department including secretary clinton, end quote. national security correspondent jennifer griffin live in washington with more on that. jen. >> reporter: hi, jon. the 46-page interim progress report concludes the administration's reaction was quote a concerted attempt to insulate the department of state for blame following the terrorist attacks. the ror was prepared by the chairman of the armed services foreign affairs judiciary oversight and government reform and the select committee on intelligence. all of them republican.

leading to accusations from democrats that this report is partisan and politicized. prior to the benghazi attack state department officials in libya made repeated "for additional security that were denied in washington despite ample documentation of the threat posed by violent extremist militias. further reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the state department up to and including secretary clinton. this the report says contradicts her testimony before the house foreign affairs committee on january 23rd, 2013. >> the specific security request pertaining to benghazi, you know, were handled by the security professionals in the department. i didn't see those requests, they didn't come to me, i didn't approve them. i didn't deny them. >> reporter: and now -- a congressman responded. >> i don't know what her eyes saw. what i do know is that her

signature is on some of the denials of those requests, and what we know for certain is that some of these requests did not end with the security folks in the state department, they went higher up into the management levels. >> reporter: the report finds, quote in the days following the attacks white house and senior state department officials altered accurate talking points draft evidence bvi the intelligence community in order to protect the state department. fox news has obtained a letter sent from top democrats to how speaker john boehner accrues cueing him of politicizing the benghazi inquiry. a national security counsel spokesperson says the report appears to raise questions already dealt with not only in ten hearings on capitol hill but the administration has also provided she says 10,000 pages of documents to address republicans' concerns on capitol hill. jon: the arguing goes on it sound like.

>> reporter: but, jon, they will -- the oversight committee is going to continue hearings on this starting next month. jon: oh, okay, good to know. jennifer griffin thank you. jenna: speaking of arguing let's get to this next topic. this is in on the keystone xl pipeline controversy. the house is taking up legislation aimed at approving it. this happening just days after the epa blasted the plan saying the risks to the environment are just too high. supporters are still rallying behind the project saying construction of the pipeline will help give america energy independence and create thousands and thousands of jobs. wendell goler is live the a the white house with more on this. what exactly is happening inside the house? what is the strategy by house republicans? >> reporter: well, jenna they are trying to push through legislation that would take the decision on building the keystone xl pipeline out of the hands of the state department and the environmental protection agency. their goal is to pass it before memorial day. the bill has a hundred republican cosponsors.

the chair of the natural resources committee says keystone is the victim of obama administration road blocks and delays. >> president obama has held up this project for years even though he has gone through extensive reviews. the state department has repeatedly determined that this project will have no significant environmental impacts. yet, still, this administration refuses to act. >> reporter: republicans say the pipeline would create thousands of jobs and substantially lessen this country's dependence on ale from the middle east. jenna: talk to us a little bit about the epa, and their report that suggests they are worried about the pipeline. >> reporter: the epa raeuflt efld the state department's initial review of the pipeline as insufficient, which means the state may have to go become to the drawing boards. the epa says the state department didn't consider the carbon emissions from producing crude from the ale sands in canada or the safety of transporting the crude via

pipeline to texas. there are as you can imagine some skeptical members of congress as well. >> the keystone xl paoeufp line would ask the united states to bear all of the environmental risk of transporting this dirty oil, in fact so dirty it doesn't even count under the regulations as oil, without insuring that american consumers get any energy security or see any of the benefits of this project. >> reporter: the state department officials say they always anticipated the need to do further reviews before they finalize it. they've got about a million public comments to sift through, jenna. jenna: a divisive issue certainly in certain circles that is the truth. thank you very much. we'll stay on this story for sure. jon: a shootout in illinois leaves five people dead and multiple schools under lockdown. the hraeuftess o latest on the situation in manchester coming up of. a look the a the gang of eight's

immigration reform. we will speak with fred barnes about the road ahead for this controversial legislation. [ indistinct conversations ]

[ male announcer ] when you wear dentures you may not know it, but your mouth is under attack. food particles infiltrate and bacteria proliferate. ♪ protect your mouth, with fixodent. the adhesive helps create a food seal defense for a clean mouth and kills bacteria for fresh breath. ♪ fixodent, and forget it.

jon: right now new info in crime stories we are keeping an eye on. a suspect is in custody now after five people were found shot to death in illinois. the murders at a home in manchester putting several schools on lockdown as police pursue the suspect. shots were reportedly fired during the chase. testimony resumes today in the jodi arias murder trial with the prosecution continuing its rebuttal case. the defense rested last week but is hoping to get the judge to allow another witness. mean time an ex-girlfriend of a man airy as claims she killed in self-defense told a phoenix court that he was never abusive with her. and charges of sending ricin-laced letters to president obama and others are dropped against paul kevin curtis. the elvis impersonator from mississippi says since his arrest last week that he had nothing to do with the letters.

jenna: right now the debate on immigration reform is back in full swing. the plan released by the gang of eight last week is being debated during a series of senate hearings. some suggest it's really on its wraeu to passing eventually. in a "wall street journal" editorial published today fred barnes says despite all the controversy rounding this one issue reform on immigration is starting to roll. he's writing, quote, this is it is rare in washington for the friend lines on a controversial issues to come together as favorably as they have for immigration reform. joining us now the author of that editorial, fred barnes, the executive editor of "the weekly standard" and fox news contributor. fred, you paint the scene in the first couple of paragraphs of your piece, this magical coming together of the public and hispanic groups, the top democrat being the president, the temperature republican being marco rubio. why do you think there seems to be a moment where it seems like folks might be on the same page? >> well, you know, i compare it to 2007 when there was a bill

that almost got even acted in the senate, and it didn't. and there was -- it's so different now. the polls are better. this time there are many, many more republicans who are -- who find immigration reform acceptable. and even reform with a path to citizenship, which many republicans opposed in the past. jenna: you take a look at that 8-hundred plus-page one wonders what is in it that really maybe has potentially a tipping point opportunity for not only these politicians but for the country. >> that is certainly one of them, the path to citizenship. it's not something that will occur overnight. it will be a minimum of 13 years before you can become a citizen if you're here in the united states illegally now, and there are many hoops to jump through, pay taxes, and so on. but this is -- i really haven't seen anything like this recently where it all came together. it all seems to be coming

together and come paper it to gun control, jenna. with gun control you had a huge lobby against it, a powerful lobby, nra and other gun groups and people who own guns. on immigration reform you have a lot of serious conservative criticism, particularly about the security measures in the bill, but it's nothing like the powerful lobby that was against gun control. jenna: it's a bit redundant to say there is politics involved here, isn't it fred? looking at this "politico" article written this week that was talking about the bill, here is what "politico" says. it says the immigration proposal pending in congress will transform the nation's political landscape for a a generation or more. if current trend hold it's going to produce anee location toerl bonanza for democrats and cripple republicans. what do you think about that assessment? >> i think it's wrong for a um couple of reasons. for one, there are not many bonanzas in politics.

it concludes that all these hiss will continue to be democrats. george w. bush, remember got 44% of the hispanic vote when he was running for re-election in 2004. republicans are going to be hurt by the hispanic vote whether this passes or not unless they learn how to appeal successfully to hispanic voters. so it's going to be bad either way for them unless they do this. jenna: as you get closer to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel there is a series of stages before this actually becomes the law of the land. how do you think politics starts to surface here where people are looking to take credit? this is going to be under potentially a democratic administration if it passes this year, marco rubio has also been the leader. who claims credit for it and who gets the win? that can sometimes disrupt even the best plans. what do you think about that? >> yes it can. it can upset the best plans. well, certainly democrats will claim credit. president obama will claim credit, although the best thing the president can do right now is stay out of it.

i mean he can destroy the chances but i don't think he can enhance them much. if you have marco rubio out there in front as a cuban-american, someone who speaks spanish, someone who is ha powerful speaker that is going to give some republicans some credit. even if they don't get all the credit, if this bill passes it will give them a chance to speak to the hispanics and his high school will listen and they won't be blocked from considering conservatives by the lack of an immigration reform measure. jenna: we encourage our viewers to take a look at the article. it really laid it out in an interesting way where you can see all sides and how they are trying to strategize here, fred and how potentially it might be a good thing, which is a rare thing to say out of washington d.c. these days. >> it is. jenna: i appreciate the time, fred, thank you so much. >> thanks, jenna. jon: massive fire on a boat, smoke and flames quickly spreading. what investigators are learning about what caused it all, we are live at the breaking news desk. new developments in the canadian

terror plot as a suspect appears in court. what investigators say about iran's role in this plan to blow up a passenger train from new york. we'll go in-depth next.

jenna: welcome back. right now investigators in florida are looking into what started a fire on a boat that really spread very quickly. rick is live in our new york city newsroom with more. >> reporter: we are hearing that somebody on board one of those boats smelled fumes. the fire broke out, flames shooting from wrong boat to another even to another boat though that one was not seriously damaged. as you said the fire spread very quickly, starting just after 7:30 this morning, a man, his young son and a woman were on the first both. the man is the one who smelled the fumes, and so they were able to runoff the boat just in the

nick of time, because it didn't take too long for the fire to fully inc engulf their boat and a second both. the fort lauderdale fire department used foam and water to put out the flame. there was one injury, a man who was burned. they are not life-threatening injuries. both boats, 35 footers a total loss. no word on what caused the fire to break out, jenna. you'd think that the fumes may have had something to do with it. but we are just not sure. the fire department spokesman says it did not appear to be anything suspicious. back to you. jenna: thank you. jon: court action today in the canadian terror plot to blow up a passenger train that runs between new york city and toronto. investigators say the suspects got support from al-qaida he will apartments in iran but there is no evidence the iranian government was behind the blot. iran is not only saying it had nothing to do with this moth, it also denied that al-qaida has any presence within its bode tkers. do you believe that?

let's ask ambassador john bolton, former u.s. ambassador to the united nation -gs hanna fox news contributor. no surprise i suppose that the iranians deny any official involvement, or even unofficial involvement in this plot. >> right, but it's been known for a longtime there have been al-qaida elements in iran, including relatives of osama bin laden, and it's always been a little bit of a conundrum, are they there using iran as a base of operations, are they being held by hostages by iran or some combination. i think the way the mounties described this yesterday was quite interesting that the two accused terrorists were acting under their words, direction and control of these elements of al-qaida in iran, but without the government itself being involved. nonetheless, when you give somebody a base of operations or allow them to continue that is pretty good material assistance. >> iran isee sepbgs ale lee acquiescing? >> i think that is right. i think the question for them now and our western european allies ought to put this question to the iranian authorities as well. you better make sure that these

people are not engaged in terrorist activities or else we will hold you responsible. jon: hold them responsible, how do we do more against iran than we already have? i mean the sanction -gs are in place. >> honestly we are not doing very much against iran. the sanctions are weak, beingee veiledded they are not having an effect on the iranian nuclear weapons program. they've been on our list for state sponsored terrorism for a longtime. is it the world's central pwa*fpgebanker of interest tphaeupbgt of international terrorism: jon: homeland security secretary napolitano said yesterday in front of congress that the system pinged when tamerlan tsarnaev left the ooh night offed states information russia. earlier we were told the trip had gone unnoticed. is washington changing the story or not have the story straight.

>> obviously there was a failure. the pwo*fpls went off at the finish line of the boston marathon. however well law enforce it did after the fact the thing is to present convenient them from happening. there is a connection there, tamerlan's six months in russia if nothing else and a lot of other evidence, it's much too quick to come up with a conclusive theory this is all domestic. >> i think it's interesting that authorities are interviewing the surviving brother, the 19-year-old in the hospital who was shot through the throat, early word was that he couldn't speak at all, now maybe he's able to give one-word answers and he can write a few things, and yet authorities are saying, we have no indication that there was foreign involvement. we are -- we are convinced this is a domestic plot only. doesn't it seem a little bit early to be coming to those conclusions? >> look if a first year law student wrote an exam answer that way i'd flung them. tphr*upbg them. tphr*upbg them. it's ignore answer on the part

of people leaking to the press or following the ideology of the obama administration. the war is almost over. al-qaida is on the run. what could go wrong. this is a big mistake and the american people should be demanding a the hro more information before we reach conclusions. jon: pwhaus it's more convenient or it's best threatening somehow if it's just a couple of nutty chechen brothers who decided to brother up the boston marathon with no outside help. >> right, if al-qaida in fact were on the road to defeat of course they wouldn't have assaulted our consulate in benghazi last september the 11th either . that's why jumping to conclusions so soon after apprehending the younger brother is utterly unjustified. jon: none of these people who are saying this was just their work, they didn't have outside help. none of those people is apparently willing to be identified. it's all sources speaking on condition of and a anytime a tee. >> i think it would be much more honest to say it's early in the investigation, there are a lot of unanswered questions. jon: ambassador john bolton it's good as always to have you in. thank you very much.

jon: a new warning from the world health organization about a deadly new strain of bird flu. scientists say it is already showing signs of possible human-to-human transmission. samples sent to the u.s. suggest it might be resistant to some

drugs. senior national correspondent john roberts has that live from atlanta. john? >> reporter: good morning to you jon. very troubling developments aft team from the world health organization sent out a new warning about this new virus. h7n9 that is is particularly deadly. 108 people in china gotten sick from the virus. 22 of them have died. they're anxious to find out they includestures of disease might include human-to-human transmission a father and two sons and parent and daughter and husband and wife. it might be these are isolated cases of human transmission. could mean they picked it up from the same source. at the centers for disease control they're urgently monitoring for any signs that the virus is mutated and becomes easily transmissable. this doctor says this virus has a possibility to cause severe pandemic. >> there are three things we need for a pandemic. we need a new flu virus we

don't have immunity to. that is the clear case here. and the virus can infect humans and that is clearly the case here. the third component we need sufficiently sustained human-to-human spread and we don't have that yet. >> reporter: this why the centers for disease control is concerned about this the 1918 pandemic the benchmark which all other flus are mentioned. 50 million people died. one in 50 died. the case fatality rate, jon, one in five people who get sick die. jon: we got some drugs and so forth these days that they didn't have back in 1918. >> reporter: yeah. do we or don't we? that's a problem. already this new virus, h7n9 has shown it is resistant to the older line anti-virals like flumadin. centers for disease control got two samples. one was showing troubling signs. here is the mike from the

cdc labs. >> looks like a small part of it was trying to become drug resistant but, wasn't quite there yet. which shows us that the potential is there, something we need to be alert for. >> reporter: if this virus were to become easily transmissable and resistant to front line anti-virals that could become a huge problem, jon. so far we're not there yet. one trouble ventment was discovered outside of china. a man from taiwan was traveling to china before being diagnosed. here is the troubling aspect, he had no contact with birds. that is worrisome. jon: it sure is, john roberts live in atlanta. thank you, john. jenna: back to one of our top stories today the latest in the investigation to the boston terror attack and why the two suspects committed this heinous crime. "the wall street journal" characterizes their motive in this way. muslim religious anger at the united states. now while the fbi is trying

to piece together the truth in that motive our next guest suggests something different. was the head of the cia's bin laden unit back in the 2000s. he argues u.s. policy is partly to plame for terrorism inside the united states including the boston terror attack. in a recent blog he writes this saying quote, it is blatantly obvious from the evidence that the authorities have presented to date that the attackers were motivated by what the united states government does in the muslim world and not because of our freedoms and liberties and gender equality. a sentiment another one of our guests firmly disagrees with. michael scheuer author of imperial hubris. we have a former cia senior analyst and managing editor of lignet.com. this is really important discussion to have. we heard both sides argued on air. michael, you say the tsarnaev may have planted

this bomb but you say republican and democrat fingerprints are on the detonators. that is a very strong statement. why do you say that? >> because it's true, ma'am. there has been no evidence since usama bin laden declared war on us in 1996 and his followers and those he inspired continue to wage war that they were bombing us because we had women in the workplace or you or i had a beer after work or because we voted early in iowa every four years. the description has been consistently including, the young men who bombed in boston that there, their activities are a response to our support for the saudi tyranny, our invasion of iraq, our support for the israelis, most recently, mr. obama has invaded two muslim countries, mali and libya. it seems to me we spend a lot of wasted time trying to figure out when motivates these people. jenna: well we hear, fred what motivates these people the fact they want an islamic state. they want global domination

in islam. that it is a -- let me get fred's point on this the fact we exist is the reason why they're motivated to terror. what about that point? >> i think that is exactly right. this is a cultural war. it is a cultural war against democracy, against western values of the, against u.s. media, against u.s. movies, against u.s. conceptions of women's rights. what is ironic about this, that they are using western technology to promote this radical ideology to recruit the disowe pest -- dispossessed and disgruntled to commit acts of terrorism in the west. jenna: you don't think our actions in the muslim world impact at all the motivation to terror? >> i think there is an effect but let's argue for a moment. what if we did as michael suggested we pulled out of the middle east. we cut our support for israel, what would happen? would this be the beginning of the end of radical islamist militants? no. this would allow radical

islamists militants to take over the middle east and we would be more at risk. jenna: michael, respond to that. if we pud out of the muslim world and decided we wouldn't do anything anymore would there be no terror attacks in the future. >> there would be much less. they would be fighting each other. sunnis would be fighting shia. you have to come to grips with the fact that people don't like to be up traded or bombed by anybody and we have been engaged in that. jenna: what should we have done, michael? what should we have done post-9/11? not done anything? not invaded afghanistan? >> we should have went to afghanistan and won the war. we went to afghanistan and spent 13 years got chased out by guys with weapons from the korean war. the islamists started this war. they explained to us as clearly as general and ho chi minh why they were fighting us and we have ignored it. mrs. clinton has ignored. bill clinton, george bush, barack obama. the idea that they're attacking us because of our culture is insane. that is --

>> that is just wrong. >> we are now waging a war against them culturally. we're trying to impose democracy, women's rights, parliamentary systems on a people who don't want it. they're going to fight that. jenna: fred? >> they don't care if we vote. why they should care about that? jenna: fred to michael's point, we only shared a little bit of his writing, what one of the things that michael says if we're going to respond in the muslim world, respond fast, violent and we destroy the enemy. that we aren't in afghanistan or iraq and years and years and years. that is the problem, not necessarily the response but the fact that we're there for so long and trying to build governments there. what do you think about that argument? >> i think we can have a debate about u.s. policy in iraq or afghanistan whether there were mistakes. whether we could have done things differently but the issue here is that, this war with radical islam goes back many, many years. the islamist thinker who

influenced usama bin laden made it very clear that one reason he was pushing islamist militancy was because of deddid he general asy in the west. usama bin laden said in 2002 letter in the united states, he made it clear not only wanted the u.s. to stop backing israel and objected to the u.s. moral degeneracy. this is cultural war. this is not just about u.s. policy. this a fight that goes back hundreds of years. jenna: if i could to wrap up the segment, michael you first, fred, i will give you the last word what is the one thing we can do to have the control to do it that will prevent terror attacks on our soil or otherwise? what is the one thing we could do, michael? >> we can kill the enemy with much greater force when we find him and we can stop supporting the saudi tyranny and israelis and not fight other people's wars. what in the world are we doing supporting a french invasion of mali?

why are we establishing another military base in a muslim world? it feeds the warfare. jenna: fred? >> in mali the french as a great power drove out radical islamists who were chopping off limbs and denies rights to women. >> who cares? >> we should do the same thing. jenna: we should not solve the debate today. we look for ward to have youing both back. if you're out to dinner or talking with your friends people bring this up. this is an important debate to have as we try do cover the stories best of our ability. michael and fred, thank you both. >> thank you. jon: very good debate. check out this incredible video. a guy begins to step in front of a speeding subway until one cop jumps in. that story next. @p@ñ@p@ñ

jon: we are learning more about the boston terror suspects, their possible motives and how they might have built their bombs. federal investigators say the older brother bought two mortar kits in february from a new hampshire fireworks store just across the massachusetts border. so is that what it took to get these explosions? michael balboni is former new york director of homeland security and senior fellow for the homeland security policy institute at george washington university. so homemade bombs just with the materials from a couple of fireworks stores? >> it's possible. it is amount of material you get. it is way you package it. it is the way you will

ignite it. it is very dangerous though. it is not something that you can do haphazardly. jon: fireworks are enclosed. you get the explosion from a cardboard shell. >> right. jon: there wouldn't be enough power to blow apart a metal pressure cooker with fireworks? >> you're absolutely right. if you took a thousand of them, only reported two you would need a lot more than that the question is where else did they go? what else did they have? what are the type of materials? we're sure this is low energy explosion. means black powder as opposed to sim tex or ammonium nitrate. the question is, how much did they get, how did they amass it? you're absolutely right, it was enough to cause a pretty significant detonation. jon: some of the explosive experts looked at the towerwer of smoke erupted and that looks like black powder. >> that's what we work with msa security. they have analysts on the ground. as soon as that happened they had two things, one, ball bearings.

it was anti-personnel. take a look at smoke. low energy. not the type of blast you get with other types of material. jon: i was talking about this earlier with ambassador bolton. supposedly there are unnamed law enforcement sources who have been talking to the surviving brother in the hospital saying oh, this was their own home cooked plot, no connection to anything everyseas. >> i think you will find as these thieves facts begin to add up it doesn't add up. one, you need money to get these weapons. so who paid for that? apparently on welfare is the latest report? jon: yes. >> certainly didn't have a lot of money. jon: who paid for trips to russia? >> who paid for trips it russia? did the wife go with her brother or husband overseas? if so, why? if not, where did she think he was? this is really what they're trying to look at. jon: you're in the camp of those who say it is a little early to be talking about, you know, no foreign support? >> if you're in the hospital bed and your brother's dead you will write a letter that says it is just us. that makes perfect sense. you're not going to give up

everybody unless you really have to. that's what we'll see. that is the digital footprint. that is the job the fbi is working on right now. jon: michael balboni who used to direct homeland security in state of new york. thank you. >> thank you for having me. jenna: bombing victims have been released from the hospital. we'll look at the road to recovery for those most seriously injured in the attack so...how'd it go? well, dad, i spent my childhood living with monks learning the art of dealmaking. you've mastered monkey-style kung fu? no. priceline is different now. you don't even have to bid. master hahn taught you all that? oh, and he says to say (translated from cantonese) "you still owe him five bucks." your accent needs a little work.

jon: right now, new questions about a federal loan made to an electric carmaker that is on the verge of going belly-up. rick knows all about it. rick? >> the company, fisker automotive, jon. the energy department approved a $529 million loan trying to encourage development of electric cars. documents leaked to the associated press the obama administration was warned of fisker problems a full year

before they pulled the plug on the loan. by then, $529 million taxpayer dollars were paid out. that is probably money we'll never see again. that is the biggest solar debacle after solyndra mess. that got a $528 million loan from the energy department to only to declare bankruptcy and lay off all the workers. someone in the energy department loan office raised a flag about fisker finances but the loans continued for another 12 months after that. fisker was touted by the administration as the future of american car making but the company hasn't sold any cars since last summer and is in the process of trying to buyer for itself. as it very quickly runs out of cash. back to you. jon: rick, keep us updated. thanks. >> right now some victims of the boston marathon bombings are being released from the hospital and starting a new chapter in their life. for some the rehab is just beginning. dr. hark siegel is in

boston. doc? >> i spent time in a spaulding rehabilitation facility a top facility where many victims of the bombings are coming for rehabilitation. amputees will learn to balance and you would maltly learn to walk again. there is more unseen type of injury that has to be taken into consideration. >> i have a feeling the untold story here is traumatic brain injury. are you anticipating taking care of patients with traumatic brain injury from the boston mayor ton? >> yes. we have speech language pa thol gifts who usually will screen patients and we'll evaluate patient and they will try to detect if there is some symptoms of traumatic brain injury or whether patients are dealing with ptsd and psychologists and psychiatrists coming in to screen the patients as well. >> jenna, if 9/11 is any indication, post-traumatic stress disorder will affect the majority of people in the area as well as some of us watching on tv. there is high-risk of anxiety and depression.

the time to start treatment is now. jenna? jenna: something for us to think about today. doctor, thank you so much. jon: so you heard about those flight delays at the airports. are the sequester cuts to blame? what the head of the faa is telling lawmakers next.

massacre. a live report straight ahead. packers take over the -- hacker take over the twitter tpoerbgt the "associated press." reports that the white house have been attacked leaving the stock market to temporarily plunge, is this a preview of cyber terrorism? experts weigh in. one day before the dedication of the president bush library we'll talk to the man who whraus the 43rd president's official white house photographer as ph and breaking news happens right now. jenna: well tomorrow to a new hour of "happening now," everyone. i'm jenna lee. jon: i'm jon scott. a team of u.s. investigators is in president province of dagestan located in a region known for islamic fanaticism where they are interviewing the parents of of the boston bombing suspects.

this is developing as we gerting a better per of the brother believed to be the mastermind behind the terror attack. we have live team fox coverage for you. molly line is in boston. first let's go to greg palkot to london. >> reporter: the fbi is pretty tight-lipped about the trip. a team of fbi agents are in dagestan and speaking with the parents with the suspected boston marathon bombers, having specifically about a six-month visit that tamerlan tsarnaev paid to dagestan in 2012 and what he did. our own amy kellogg was able to reach the father. he claimed to u.s. officials his sons were innocent and tamerlan said no contact with radicals in dagestan. extremists there claimed the same. there are different reasons for him going, conflicting timelines of where he was and who he was with. a lot of focus on one of the

mosquit mosque. they believe in fact he did make contact with extremists. again no hard evidence of that contact. at least during the time he was in that dagestan city he had exposure to radicalism. there was several clashes between islamist troops demanding independence for dagestan from russia. no hard evidence again but circumstantial evidence of the significance of this trip before, by all accounts he had turned much more conservative in his islamic beliefs. after that it all ratcheted up. after the trip he spoke out at a local moderate boston mosque, started posting islamic videos on his youtube site and allegedly started to make preparations for that boston attack along with his surviving brother dzhokhar. jon: perhaps there will be time to answer the question in the days ahead. the father moved his family here

claiming, you know, asking for political asylum, now he's back living in dagestan? >> reporter: he is there, and his mother was there too. his mother actually spoke twice with officials, last night we are told and again today, again his mother echoing the father's line that in fact his sons are innocent, were innocent, and in fact it was all because they were in fact they were muslim. jon. jon: greg palkot stay on top of it for us thank you. jenna: new information on what one of the suspects was up to in the weeks before the boston terror attack. we are learning the older brother, tamerlan who died in applies shootout was busy buying fireworks. that is key to this. molly line is live in boston with more. >> reporter: new details about tamerlan tsarnaev trip north to new hampshire where the fire works were aeu partisa were apparently bought. this occurred in eastbound if, a few months ago of course. two large firework kits, they are called lock and load kits,

tsarnaev apparently paid $200 in cashing and got a two-for-one deal. he purchased one, got a second one for free as part of a promotion with a store loyalty card which he signed up for the night he made these purchases and even used his massachusetts driver's license to do so. a store manager describes what exactly he asked for. >> he asked to point him, direct him to the most powerful and loudest fire works that we had. >> reporter: this store is called phantom myer works located in seabrook new hampshire, and we also have information from company employees from officials at the company who said they really don't think these types of fire works would be what is needed to cause the bomb explosions that occurred at the marathon finish line. they just won't be the right fuel. take a listen. >> i just don't think they would have been able to mine enough powder from these products to produce that, and the other part is that we all saw the explosion, and it was gray smoke.

you saw no color, no fireworks effect, no whistle, no crackle. >> reporter: meanwhile the streets of boston are being reclaimed by the people here. boylston street where the marathon finish line is located has reopened today. an incredible scene there. the streets been repaved. the shop owners are reflecting their things and cleaning up the street. trees are being replanted. that is getting underway. there is tremendous energy in the city of boston for the one fund, which is -- the organization, the fund that will be helping the victims. this t-shirt says boston on the front. and on the back "nothing is stronger than love." this is being put out by the life is good company and they are giving the profits over to that one fund. they are selling the shirt for $26.20. 426.2. the benefits go to the one fund . all of that money will be going to the victims of the boston marathon bombing. jenna. jenna: molly line, thank you. jon: the fireworks store that

sold explosive to tamerlan tsarnaev is now at the center of a terrorism investigation for the second time in three years. phantom fireworks is a 68-store chain. as molly just told us last february tsarnaev purchased reloadable port tar kits from a new hampshire location. investigators are not sure any material from those kits was actually used in the attacks. bufizal shazad did use fireworks from a phantom fireworks store when he attempted to blow up a car in new york city's times square. luck ka key thluckily the fireworks failed to detonate the chain reaction explosion he hoped for. jenna: legal teams on both sides of the boston marathon bombing case are headed by attorneys with deep experience in terror cases. for the prosecution you have massachusetts u.s. attorney carmen ortiz, from the bonks, born in new york city, won a

high profile conviction against this man accused of plotting to kill u.s. soldiers overseas. for the defense, defending the one suspect that remains alive, miriam conrad. the head of the state's federal defender's office, one of the most well regarded public defenders in the country. she represented the likes of shoe bomber richard reid the terrorist who tried to bring town an airliner in the weeks after 9/11. and conrad recently represented the muslim american convicted for plotting to attack the pentagon and u.s. capitol with remote model planes armed with explosives. it will be an interesting case to continue to watch. jon: the head of the federal aviation administration is facing tough questions on capitol hill today. administrator michael wart ta juarta is taking heat from furniture who hing air traffic controllers resulting in flight delays across the country. there are serious questions following the decision to postponed loosened restrictions for carrying knives on board planes. mike emanuel live in washington

for us now. this house hearing so far, describe the tone and focus for us. >> reporter: the fa, a is required to cut $637 million, that has an impact on the almost 13,000 air traffic controllers. a number of lawmakers say the faa's move to furlough air traffic colors raises serious questions about about safety and operational issues. and one of of the leading committee republicans sounds irritating. >> there are all sorts of ideas floating around, and yet the administration refuses to come to the table and talk about it. instead, they simply start shutting down airports, if you will, closing towers, and now furloughing airline controllers, airport controllers. >> reporter: lawmakers representing some of the big travel hubs such as chicago's o'hare, dfw and atlanta have a question whether there was a way to make sure the huge airports

affecting much of the country were not impacted, jon. jon: what is the faa administrator saying in defense of what he and his agency have done here? >> reporter: administrator michael juerta said they looked at the open -ps of where to prioritize where to make the cuts and they say the system is interconnected and the way planes move through the system is a combination of large and fall facilities. the faa administrator says the feelings were they could not choose win error losers based on region so they moved forward with a universal application of the furloughs. >> i think what the administration has been quite clear on the sequester being an across the board impact we agree with you is not an appropriate way to run the government. but we are complying with the law as it has currently been passed. >> a number of republican lawmakers say this whole situation smells of politics and they argue money could have been moved around from lower priority items to keep the planes running on time.

jon: it seems like a few managers in the government would not be a bad thing right now. thanks. jenna: democratic jitters according to some reports after a significant piece of the president's agenda goes down the tubes. the one big thing they think the president is not doing. a closer look at that. and who can forget this. eufpl anales thaimages that really denine a presidency and a nation. the official white house photographer forgeorge w. bush a little bit as we await the opening of mr. bush's presidential library. ♪

campaign manager for howard dean's presidential bid telling the "wall street journal," quote, this is a possibility that we can get immigration reform, but even that could go the way of gun control, where we feel like we've got a compromise, we feel really close but it doesn't quite happen. meanwhile, a senior white house official has this to say, quote, mr. obama has used every tool in his toolbox to try to advance his agenda and that includes meeting with, talking with, dining with, and negotiating with lawmakers of both parties. let's get 0 some reaction here from jonah goldberg editor at large for "the national review.," a frequent critic of the ba obama administration and a fox news contributor. it was not that long ago, in account in a i believe it was april 19th that jonah wrote an editorial very much like this for "the national review." about the president's powers of persuasion, and how they sometimes come up lacking. so, jonah, what do you think about it? is mr. obama not using the bully

pulpit to his full advantage if. >> i mean he's using the bully pulpit. i just don't think he's very good at it. this is something that i think a lot of people in the obama white house and obama himself have a real hard time grasping. for his entire presidency, particularly his first year, taeuf david objection elrod and his advisers thought the answer was more cow bill, give another big speech. they do it when his approval right inks are high or low and it never worked. people forget he gave about a 52 speeches on obama care alone in his first year in office, and he never made the thing popular, not once. he gave two essentially state of the union addresses on it, not once did he make the thing popular. it's still not popular. he got that thing passed not because it was popular, not because he roused the will of the american people because he through in a whole bunch of shady back room deals and had nancy reid -- nancy pelosi and

harry reid twist arms. and whenever he thinks he can take his issue to the american people it doesn't work. and the theory was after the election, okay maybe what was missing was some organization, be more of a community organizer and that's why he started organizing for action and their first priority was the background checks, bill, and they face planted even before they could get a real vote on it. jon: in your piece other day you wrote that the only populous mass movement on domestic policy issues that obama can claim credit for is creating the tea party, which you think we can all agree is know the what he had in mind. >> that's right. the obama people starting with obama himself think that they are -- this they need to bring change to washington, that's what obama always says. the change needs to come from you outside of washington. i think some of this is partly just an excuse that he doesn't like to dirty himself by doing the hard work of cutting deals,

smoozing people on capitol hill, doing outreach and all of that. instead he thinks he should be coming down from olympus and rousing the american people. the only time he's ever actually created anything like a mass movement wasn't occupy wall street, it was the tea parties, which were sort of an antibody reaction to obamacare and the bailouts. jon: jonah, let me just throw this up, because we have a fox news poll that is kind of interesting. when asked where the president seems to be essentially fall down on the job the most his worst issues regarding his job performance, the american people sailed said a 51% disa disapprove of his immigration plans. 56 pherz hop don't agree with him on gun control. >> the sort of goes to point out that this idea that he can move

the american people to his side by being so persuasive and so charismatic is hard to do when you are underwater in the polls on all of the items on your agenda. again, it's sort of a more cowbell strategy, the idea that if we just do what we've been doing, even louder, sort of like the ugly american who think foreigners can understand what they are saying if they speak english louder. if he says what he believes own and over again he thinks he'll move the america to his side. of it doesn't work. he tried to take credit for the tea parties. he was take they are a part of the same forces of change that an elected me. he kind of has a thumb less grasp of where the american people are on a lot of political issues and the mood of the country. jon: forces a changed but probably not many votes hess way. jonah gold pwer thank you. jennagoldberg thank you. jenna: what authorities say may have been a big clue that this building collapse was about to

factory, agreeing eupd straoe industry in bangladesh more than a billion dollars aer kwrao. factory workers paid only $35 a month and sell the clothing made to giant retailers around the world including walmart. last november 112 beam die 112 people died at a clothing factory not far from the one affected today. this were cracks spotted inside the building that went down this morning. factory owners are saying that nobody warned them that something like this was possible. a terrible scene. we'll keep you posted as we learn more. jon: that is awful. thank you. jenna: a look at the dow after a dramatic plunge yesterday. check out this time lapse video we have. it happened around this time yesterday, just after 1:00pm the dow loss more than 130 points in less than three minutes. that's about $200 billion of market value. and this is why, there was a tweet, quotation marks around

the tweet, tr the "associated press" reading this. breaking new explosions in the white house and alabama is injured. well, that tweet was not really from the "associated press." there was no explosion, the president was not hurt. a group calling itself the syrian electronic army claims it hacked the ap's account and sent the tweet. morgan wright is former adviser to the state department's antiterrorism assistance program, now the crashing eo of the company connected to the case and a cyber analyst and is great on topics like this. he's great on topics like this. we are looking at this nearly 24 hours later. ment news is still kind of puzzling, like how did this happen with the "associated press"? and you keep on hearing, owe it's so easy to hack a twitter account, anybody can do it. is that really the case? can this just happen at any time? >> look, this goes back to what you and i have had extensive conversations about is how secure are we online. by the reports that are coming

out one of the ap reporters that were quoted on this said an hour before this tweet went out we received a very well disguised phishin email. it was designed to access user names and passwords. that appears to be what has happened. it was a sophisticated attack. very simple one but sophisticated. it got you to click onto an email. allowed access into the ap sis tefpl and this tweet went out and we see the results, ha than a week after boston these results were amplified. everyone is still very sensitive to the boston marathon bombings. jenna: you see it from the "associated press." there were some people who instantly said okay be careful because this can be hack. the "associated press" respected around the world raised a lot of questions. there was human error in of in this you're saying. if the person, and you'd hate to be that person did not click on that phisthin link sent to him or her then this would not have happened. >> it's like the poor guy who lost the iphone 5 and it got

out to the world because it was at bar. i'd hate to be that guy. this its the same thing. this goes back to, you know, we spent hundreds of million also of tkhraors in the united states on cyber security. there is a bill going through now. we spend very little time and attention on teaching people how to be secure in their online habits and jenna this goes back to it. if somebody had just not clicked on it if they said this looks that good to be true and sent it to the right department or reported it to somebody this would not have happened to ap. because it is so credible it amplified the effect of a tweet. jenna: over the last few days 60 minutes, their twitter feed from cbs, 48 hours also had some discrepancies with their twitter accounts. the people behind it, the syrian electronic army says they are a group of enthusiastic syrian youths who support syrian president bashar al-assad. this is a group we haven't spoken about, morgan. do you know anything about them? who are they?

>> anybody can register a domain name and call themselves whatever they want. it could be somebody using them as stall lynn once said, useful idiots. maybe it's anonymous, maybe it's some other group that is using them as a proximate see so that they get some level of -- they don't want to be attributed to this. plausible deniability. even if we thought we knew something about them it's so easy to do stuff over the internet. you're here today, gone tomorrow. they could recreate themselves also as the people's national liberation army the next day and have a domain and do the same thing. jenna: scary. not much resolution in our segment today. the fact we can get out another warning, don't click when someone says check out ours in a video, just ignore it. >> run away, run away, that is right. jenna: morgan, thank you again for the time and expertise. >> you bette, jenna thank you. jon: while investigators look for a motive in the boston marathon attack a top official at the united nations says america is to blame. and what is worst the u.n. is

of the in the post-colonial world. we have a journalist and residence at foundation for defense of democracies covered the u.n. for years better than anybody else. this name might be new to some of our viewers. what do we need to know? about richard faulk? >> richard faulk is form professor of international law at princeton university. he made it his business to use his u.n. platform as a way to savage israel principally. he is now attacking the united states to pursue an agenda the very opposite of promoting peace or human rights. actually it is an agenda

that supports terrorists. that is the what it is about. jenna: so he is on the human rights council. he has a special position, we should mention to our viewers while the united states is the single biggest contributor to the u.n. as far as funds he is not on salary but he benefits from everything that the u.n. gives him which is including a platform like this and a title that makes him sound like somebody really important. why is he allowed to speak this way, especially as part of the human rights council? >> because the u.n. lets him do it. while u.s. taxpayers put billions every year into the u.n., what the u.n. then does with this whole institution that it supports it bring in people such as richard faulk, yeah, he doesn't get a salary for this, but what he gets is an enormous megaphone and speaks with the weight of the u.n. logo behind him. he urged it to have boycotts for companies that do business with israel. he is doing this for this

outrage just slander of the -- outrageous slander of the united states and israel and a whole raft of things. but this is the way that the u.n. functions. we are talking about a united nations where the second largest voting bloc in the u.n. general assembly, nonaligned movement, 120 countries of the 193 is headed right now by iran the world's leading terrorist sponsoring state n that cost most richard faulk fits right in. jenna: when we saw the comments we were curious from the response from the u.n. we have a great reporter and journalist that covers the u.n. here for fox. we want to show viewers. a longer sound bite, claudia. we'll show this exchange jonathan speaking with the spokesman for the u.n., for the general secretary and just watch the exchange between them. let's play that sound. >> what is the position of the secretary-general in regards to mr. faulk's remarks and why if he

refuses to make remarks on this, what is his position then about this? >> well i have to check on that. i have no knowledge of a letter. i have to check and see if a letter went to the secretary-general's office. i don't have any information on that. >> okay. but, richard faulk did make these comments. >> richard faulk speaks independently. he is into a representative of the secretary-general. he is free to say what he wants to say. secretary-general doesn't comment on everything everybody says. >> the secretary-general many many ways the moral voice of this organization. the u.n. calls richard faulk a top u.n. expert. why would the secretary-general not make some sort of remarks -- >> i didn't say he will not make remarks. i said i do not have any remarks to report at the moment. if the secretary-general has something to say we will report it. that's it. jenna: so just into our newsroom, moments ago, jonathan wachtel again on this topic. now the spokesman is saying a different spokesman saying secretary-general rejects

mr. faulk's comments and secretary-general immediately condemns the boston marathon bombing and goes on. why the hesitancy to come out and say this is absurd. of course we're the u.n. we would never say anything like that. >> bravo your reporter, jonathan wachtel. what the secretary-general should do is make it his business to remove mr. faulk from any position with the u.n. whatsoever. because he speaks with the u.n. label behind him. and that is just an outrageous use of enormous resources poured into that institution. the secretary-general shouldn't reject a comment to have people like that employed as, so-called independent experts but for years, using the u.n. as a platform is just outrageous, it is wrong and --. jenna: this language only allowed, claudia, when it is anti-american, anti-israel? >> that's pretty much the way it goes. that is very much the slant. that show the human rights

council has operated for years. you know, it is a travesty of a human rights council. that's how many, many things at the u.n. operate. and these sort of ritualistic rejection of the remarks after pressure and so on does nothing. what hangs out there is you still have the voice of somebody who whose pronouncements are anti-american, in many cases with this particular individual, anti-semitic. who stand as here's what the u.n. expert says. that's what plays around the world. that the u.n., that the secretary-general would allow somebody to use the u.n. in that way, or let the u.n., let the u.n. lets itself be used is just outrageous and wrong and they should be, they should preempt the questions by saying, we are doing everything in our power to remove from any association with the u.n. any individual who would make remarks of that kind.

actually how it should work. jenna: in an ideal world, we thought this was an important story for your viewers because so much of our taxpayer dollars is at stake at the u.n. it is something that we're watching. this boston story is very sensitive to all of us i'm sure. we want to take a little time to talk about this. claudia, great to have you as always. good to have you back. >> great to be here. jon: there are new developments to tell you about in the disturbing case of an abortion doctor accused of murdering babies. a priest contacting the judge about having proper funerals for the remains. molly henneberg, live from washington. molly? >> reporter: in fact father frank pavone of the pro-life group, priests for life wants burials remains of 45 babies found at the clinic west philadelphia. according to the grand jury report their bodies were found in bags, jars and freezers in this clinic. gosnell is charged with first-degree murder for killing four babies after

they survived abortions and third-degree murder after they survived one of his patients. he said if he can have the baby's bodies after all the court proceedings are finished? >> these are not just medical waste. these are human bodies, real human beings were killed. so there are two reasons here. one is that to properly honor these children of course, who have been dishonored by what dr. gosnell did. secondly to alert the public to raise the consciousness we're talking about real killings here. >> reporter: father pavone said the medical examiner said he would get back to him. he also asked the judge in the case if he could meet with dr. gosnell and plans to ask gosnell if he would be willing to talk. in the courtroom today the defense resumes its case. yesterday gosnell's attorney convinced the judge to throw out three of the seven first-degree murder charges against gosnell saying the

prosecution had not proved those three babies are born alive after abortions. jon? >> what a horrible story. molly, thank you. jenna: well with other news today, more trouble for disgraced cyclist lance armstrong. why the government says he owes them millions of dollars and what they're doing to get the money. he owes the government. does that mean he owes us, jon? are we part of that too? jon: we paid a lot of money for the stamps that footed that bill. jenna: a once in a lifetime moment as all the living presidents and first ladies are expected to be in one place tomorrow. it is for the official dedication of the george w. bush presidential library. we're there live. next. our landing time got moved back another hour.

jenna: we're one day away from the official dedication of the george w. bush presidential library. all the living presidents and first ladies will attend tomorrow's ceremony. eric draper captured many iconic photographs on display inside the bush presidential library and there is good reason for that. eric spent eight years as the president's white house photographer. he will be unveiling new images at tomorrow's dedication. he has a new book out, front row seat, a photographic portrait of the presidency of george w. bush. eric joins us live from dallas with a look at some of these photographs. eric, in light of what we've all been through over the last week or so with the boston terror attacks the

image of the president standing with the bullhorn at ground zero right after 9/11 is an image i'm sure all of our viewers remember. we really saw it through your eyes. tell us a little bit about this image and what it was like for you being there. >> well, this particular day, september 14th, just three days after the 9/11 attacks, the day started out in washington. we traveled to ground zero. it was a very emotional day. it was a roller-coaster. the president toured ground zero and it was, it was a disaster zone. i mean, you can still feel the heat, smoldering from the fires. the president waded through the firefighters. greeted as many firefighters as he could and you could definitely feel that the raw emotion and the determination at that point but you also feel that the firefighters were looking to the president for leadership and some of the firefighters are walking up to him and

saying, go get 'em, george. this moment really built to the climax when the president stood buff on the rubble and then the firefighter who screamed, i can't hear you, and president responded with the famous line. and it was definitely a very dramatic moment. right after it happened i felt like this was truly a historic moment. jenna: is that typical? i know jon has other photographs he wants to ask you about and maybe this legal leads into it, a little bit jon. when you feel history, do you know when this is going to be an iconic image? >> sometimes. and sometimes you don't know. and that was part of my job was to document everything and, and sometimes it just wasn't a lot of time to ask questions. sometimes it was very obvious, you know. when you're there, when you are right in the center of th can feel the emotion. you can hear, you know, all the senses involved when you're in that moment, you

can feel it. and that particular moment i felt, i mean, the hair on my back stood up when it happened. i knew it would be an historic, iconic moment. jon: i was down there on ground zero when you took that photograph. it was an amazing day but not everything is that heavy. there are some lighter moments too that you captured including a sort of a presidential height challenge. can you tell us about that with ehud olmert? >> yeah. you know, following the president behind the scenes i had the opportunity to witness the president building relationships with world leaders and i'm talking more of on a personal level and president bush got along with lots of world leaders and especially prime minister olmert and this moment was right before they're about to walk out to a very serious press conference and prime minister olmert stopped and said, mr. president, let's find out who's taller. so they both turn around and

it was really fun moment. jon: then of course there is barney, perhaps the most famous occupant of the white house in those days. the president finding barney under a bench? >> right. i actually contributed to this moment. so, the president was reading some paperwork on the bench in front of his house at the ranch and actually made a nice picture. but then, i had to lie on my stomach in order to get the picture so i can see barney. the president turned to me, and goes, eric, what are you doing? i said, mr. president, barney is under the bench. so he looked under to see barney and of course, i made my picture and, it was another fun moment. jenna: that's really interesting to note too you were laying on the ground to get that shot. very dedicated. that's for sure. just real quick, we got this book out. we have got the library opening as well tomorrow but what are you up to now? are you going to paparazzi

route or chasing justin bieber now? what is next for you? >> no, no paparazzi. but, i do a lot of work for, still do work for the president and mrs. bush, at the bush center. i will be there tomorrow for the dedication. i'm still in the world of politics. i spent time on the campaign trail with governor romney. so i'm keeping busy. jenna: wow, sounds like an exciting life. very exciting. thank you for the great photos as well, eric. >> thank you. jon: four million he took in eight years. jenna: four million? you need a good memory card for something like that. next time i have to ask eric about all his equipment. we'll have him back. eric, thank you so much. jon: connecting the dots in the boston terror attack. america's intelligence gathering was supposed to change after 9/11. why did homeland security know what the fbi did not? a live report on that. plus, teetering dangerously close to the edge. a family's unwelcome surprise.

we're live right there where it's all going on

jenna: "happening now", southern california couple is fleeing their home after a freak landslide sweeps away the hill underneath it, leaving the home teetering on the edge. hal eisner, fox fill yalt kttv live from san bernardino, california. what can you tell us about the status of this house? >> well, you know, jenna, it is hard to put yourself in the shoes of rosa lynn and arthur jimenez. that is their house. you look at patio, see the yellow tape. they were in the home. they heard a bang sound. little did they know there is landslide under their house. let's go to the skyfox video we shot. look what it looks like from

the other side. the land falling apart underneath this house, leaving the house in a somewhat precarious position here. a tow truck underneath the house and shopping center below, saw the landslide, called 911. authorities came out and no knocked on their door. they came out, little did they know what was going on underneath them. they were told to leave the house right away. the house was red-tagged. now gee gollists have been out this morning trying to figure out exactly how much damage has been done here, if the house can be salvaged in some way or another. as for the owners, i talked to both of them this morning. they're feeling anxiety. you can only imagine what a traumatized situation is for them. jenna: we can only imagine. hal, thank you so much. jon: might be able to get a deal on that house now, though. let's face it, public rest rooms can be a bit scary. this one takes the case. imagine coming face-to-face with this guy, an escaped tiger in the bathroom in kansas.

the whole story is next. .

>> jon: everybody loves a circus, right, jenna? >> jenna: i don't like the clowns. i will be honest with you. not my favorite. >> jon: circus in kansas gave one woman a surprise her live. in the bathroom when one of the cats breaks away from the cat trainer. the circus staff scrambled to block all the exits of the tiger escapes into the

women's restroom. the woman opens the door and finds a tiger two feet away. she calmly turns around and closes the door. later she tells her daughter about the whole story and the door asked "did the tiger wash his hands after using the bathroom?" >> fair question. >> jon: i hope it was a female tiger. did she wash her hands. all went well. she closed the door got out of there. and the tiger is okay. >> i would prefer if they kept the tiger inside the little -- in the circus, no nature calls, jokes or anything like that? you don't have anything left? that's it? >> jon: that's a story she will be telling for a long time to come. >> jenna: thanks for joining us on "happening now." >> jon: "america live" starts right now. >> megyn: fox news alert. chilling details coming in on this hour on the common every day items that authorities believe were used to kill and injure so many innocent americans at the boston marathon. welcome to ""america
